Electronic Certificates
Compliant, Secure, and Convenient
INSB Class electronic certificates represent a modern, secure, and efficient approach to maritime compliance. Embrace the digital transformation and take advantage of the many benefits that come with switching to electronic certification.

Ensuring Compliance with IMO FAL Requirements
INSB Class electronic certificates are fully compliant with the guidelines outlined in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Facilitation Committee’s (FAL) Circular FAL.5/Circ.39/Rev.2. These guidelines establish the standards for the issuance and use of electronic certificates, ensuring that they:
- Contain the necessary information equivalent to that of traditional paper certificates.
- Include unique tracking numbers (UTN) and security features to prevent tampering or fraud.
- Are issued in a format that is IMO Instruments compliant, secure, verifiable, and easy to access.
By aligning with these requirements, INSB Class electronic certificates provide ship owners, managers, and authorities the assurance of validity and authenticity, enhancing confidence in digital compliance processes.
